Steel Cut Oatmeal

1 cup Steel Cut Oatmeal (do NOT substitute quick-cooking, rolled oats!)

4 1/2 cups Water

Butter to taste

Sweetener to taste (I used a little bit of brown sugar)

Mix all ingredients together in a 2 or 4 quart crock pot. Cook for six to eight hours. Top with dried fruit, a dollop of plain yogurt or nuts.

I turned the crock pot on right before I went to bed and had a warm, filling breakfast ready when I woke up. Now, talk about easy!
